"By God's grace, we desire to become a missionary community of Christ that makes His Kingdom visible through our love for God and our love for people. As we are led by the Spirit and governed by the Word, we will become a community of faith, love, and hope."2
A missionary community that shares the gospel of Jesus Christ with thousands of unbelieving people in the Chino Valley. We will reproduce new disciples, multiply new leaders and plant new churches that seek the lost and strive for the expansion of God's Kingdom.
A missionary community that lives out their faith. The life of the church will not be confined to Sunday mornings but will be will be lived out daily and boldly in our homes, our schools, our places of employment and local communities. As we live out God's mission, our life together will testify to Christ in all that that we say, in all that we do and in all of who we are.
A missionary community that grows in God's love. We will experience and express our love for God and for others primarily in small group communities that reflect God's Kingdom. Every group will provide an environment that stimulates seeds of faith, instills Christ-like maturity and fosters genuine relationships of support and accountability.
A missionary community that embodies hope. We will be a beacon of hope in our local communities by offering tangible acts of grace and compassion to those who are "the least of these." We will serve the physical, relational and spiritual needs of those who are hurting, lost and in need.
A missionary community that will be led by the Spirit and governed by the Word. We will depend on the lead and empowerment of the Holy Spirit for the creation and multiplication of God's church. We will equip and unleash Spirit-led servants of the Lord who will lead our ministries and impact our communities in bold and courageous ways. We will be a community that is immersed in the truth of God's Word. We will teach, study, and apply the Scriptures for the building up of God's people.
